Literally the reason why I clicked the video 😂

I had the same interest. The eBay link in the description shows the parts. Looking at it you are going to have a condenser/fan unit that typically is mounted in front of the radiator of modern cars. (It can go anywhere that gets outside airflow.) The evaporator coil and blower fan box to be mounted somewhere in the cabin. The compressor pump needs to be mounted somewhere convenient to reach the evaporator coil, condenser coil, and power. Refrigerant hoses between all three. Power to the compressor and evaporator box. Control wires between everything. Power wires are going to be beefy for a 12v pump. 600watt pump will be pulling 50A. Controls in the cabin. I don't see them pictured in the kit. Do you have to fabricate your own? It can be as simple as a set of rocker switches (very cool aesthetic) or as complicated as an automatic thermostat control for the pump and fans. (not that bad to buy/make). You'll need a vacuum pump and some gauges to test the system for leaks, pull a vacuum, and then charge it with refrigerant.

dont tell tesla owners that...

@@DieselRamcharger Tesla owners know, that's why they plug in the car - to connect it to the Source of energy, and fill up the energy storage device under the car.

@@beforebefore nah they dont know.

thank you. came to say the same. Batteries only store power, they should swap alternator for high amperage , low rpm unit. I have custom 320a alternators and 130ah 30c lithium batteries in both of my vehicles.. mo' powa!

@@DrDerekG73 just run the ac off teh engine and stop wasting all that energy converting from one source to another. all the heat your alternators, batteries, cabling etc creates is lost efficiency.

Yeah we haven’t seen it before either until this kit works very well would be great on a vw

Tesla has non engine driven compressor. Most diesel trucks have dc electric compressors for their sleepers. My camper has a dc a/c system as well…

All EVs and the Prius and Volt use electric AC compressors.

Not 12 volts​@@captainobvious9188

You don't need ac. Just roll the windows down. What you DO NEED however is heat. You definitely can't live without heat!

Definitely we are going to be putting it to the test on power tour so we will have updates

@@Rustomod Definitely looking to an Update...

My F150 has an electric AC. It runs the AC while the engine is off while I go into restaurants. It seems to put out a little less than a pulley-driven AC. It only really makes a difference when I first turn it on. Otherwise, it's plenty for 110 temp days.

Yeah works great! Definitely recommend

My F150 has an electric AC. Has to be cheaper than Porsche units.

Thanks!

Cool!

I was curious about the power draw of this AC system so I sent them a message. Yep, their system pulls 1100W. That works out at just under 100amps. You'll need at least a 150 or better yet 200amp alternator to keep your system charged no matter how many batteries you have. Alternators are not rated for their continuous output. They are in fact quite inefficient and will overheat if made to work at 100% duty cycle. Sorry if you already knew all of this and have considered it but I wanted to say something. Good luck!!

@@billbayer5526 270a low rpm Singer unit would be perfect.

I was just going to say - ‘ where are you putting the 600 amp alternator? ‘

It should only pull max 45-55 amps really even if it does get to 65 amps it’s still more efficient then normal ac systems

We didn’t have the room for an electric column we actually have one but it’s too big

AC compressor is an AC compressor. It doesn't care how it's powered. Window AC units have been around for years.

Awesome!!

Great! Make a video showing HOW it was installed because people are coming to this video because of the title yet there is no HOW in How we used electric AC.

​@@davidrowe5822Just block the channel. I hate when people waste my time

Haha

I think that would work fine

The shark bite fittings are for the heater core

Yeah it controls everything pretty neat unit comes with knobs and everything to control climate

@@Rustomod thanks for the heads up

It came with the kit

Yeah the front drive shaft would hit it

It’s not bad at all without power steering honestly the tires arnt huge so that helps

Haha not sure about that

Dept of MOTOR vehicles General MOTORS Bavarian MOTOR Works MOTORcycle Etc, Etc. No one cares.

@@thomaswoitekaitis8977 motor comes from he 1500s and meant to impart motion. Replace the word motor with motion in all your examples and see if it makes sense. Just because people started using the word incorrectly out of ignorance and now over the last 120 years has become accepted as a synonym for engine doesn’t mean those of us who are knowledgeable or do things like this need to continue to enable that ignorance. Engines are combustion. Motors are electric. Also a reason we don’t say electric engines because well engines as stated are combustion and motors are electric. Dept of motion vehicles General motion Motion cycle Motion mobile Ford motion company. These companies and different inventions helped humans impart motion aka motor along. No offense but your comment is exactly the reasoning that led to the problem in society. 1500’s was long before there was ever and engine.

@@Thumper68 I'm fully aware , didn't need a lecture. Like I said ,no one cares. You're splitting hairs on something that matters to like 17 people on the planet...let it go...

@@thomaswoitekaitis8977 you’re aware of the facts and ignore it. ok whatever floats your boat I guess. Do you believe that gender and sex are the same thing? Or you going to go along with society on this one as well? We are a constitutional republic yet media keeps saying danger to our democracy. Why they want control in a democracy a couple states would control the entire country. You see my point? Language matters. Yes maybe engine/motor doesn’t have the consequences of my above examples but as a society we allow ignorance of many to be used by few to manipulate and it can have devastating consequences. But why should we keep saying motor and teaching it to the youth coming behind us.

Quite a bit running the electric power steering with the electric ac is too much for it unfortunately but if you run one or the other you should be fine

Yes

It has some basic knobs but we changed them out to fit the Willy’s dash we made

Thanks!

Yeah it works good we did have to get rid of the electric power steering

@Rustomod Awesome! So I'll go with that exact compressor then. Thank you. (Liked the video too, btw.)

Check out our most recent video

I was wondering about the Prius compressor

The electric AC unit has a placement for a defrost duct we routed it to the stock willys defrost vents. We were debating on using the volvo pump and the mini cooper pump the mini we could mount easily so we did that and it works fantastic!

Check out the latest episode of the Willy’s we swap the engine and actually delete the electric power steering but this allows the electric ac to work much better

I think we got it into the 30s

Yep that’s what we did

@@Rustomod thanks for the response. Is it still working well

I’ll do an update video

We are vw techs for a living

Works good definitely recommend a high output alternator.

Do you have a video showing how you routed the lines from the heater and air conditioner into the cab and where you placed the vents?​@@Rustomod

Ours was mounted on the side on the condenser

@@Rustomod there's nothing with mine. Not sure if I should add one or something

We know. And still, nobody cares. You're welcome.

We got it on eBay there is a link in description

@@Rustomod - that's for the whole kit. I'd also be interested in some details off the compressor itself. If you could! :)

Check out our most recent video

@@Rustomod I already did

That would probably work

@@Rustomod only thing I’m worried about is torching the brushes on the motor

Pretty good!

Check out our most recent video

AC works good definitely recommend a high output alternator

@@Rustomod 90 amperes (Audi 100 C2) will be enough?

​@@DVRollyNo. Current draw from this AC alone is probably around 100A by itself, not including power demands from the rest of the vehicle. You'll need to upgrade to a 200A alternator.

They have held on for over a year now still working good

Shoot I wish haha

@@Rustomod But is is very much work. I do like the 12 Volt ac system.

We can’t fit it

Three reasons: 1. Lack of engine bay space. 2. Avoiding parasitic losses. 3. Because it's an easier retrofit for a pre-AC car. Do you even car, bro?

@@barrysnell6775 parasitic losses? you seems to have an magic alternator that runs without using power of the engine. I do a little bit, I have a shop. We adapt everything in everything, but electric ac, cause it´s junk, or electric stearing that needs the ecu to works correctly. I can´t see why it´s easier? you have to change the alternator to a BIG one, whats the problem to put a compressor in? space could be an argument, but if you need ac you had choesen the wrong engine.

@@oliverroedel1111 Belt driven AC compressors rob horsepower. Period, end of story. This is a well known fact. I've personally dyno'd an engine with and without the AC compressor, and the difference was 30 HP. That's a LOT for something non-essential. The electric compressor is ideal because the engine already has an alternator. An upgrade to a 200A alternator allows a guy to run an electric AC compressor without changing anything else on his engine, or losing any more power. Really, you're making this way harder than it is. The benefits are self-evident.

@@barrysnell6775 alternator robs horsepower too, thats why modern are controlled by ecu, you acelerate and the ecu shuts the alternator down. energy doesn´t comes from nothing, it´s transformed.
